The mystery of Jayden Hunt

Recommended Posts

The biggest mystery surrounding Jayden Hunt is still the question of why he didn't receive a Rising Star nomination last year. Nevertheless, we all move on and if he plays the year out in the form he's shown so far, we might be asking at the end of the season whether he should get an AA nomination.

Imagine if we'd delisted Hunt and lost him before the rookie draft!

Then i would have looked like a Pro....

This will upset a few around here, but i do not rate him and can't seeing him making it at all. Should have rookie listed him instead of Viv.

I'd rather you not deflect and try and drag me into your abject failure re Hunt.  I'm not even sure what you're alluding to, but don't need to know.

We always begged for a lockdown small defender and a halfback with pace that takes the game on.

And from the ashes came Nev Jetta and Jayden Hunt, almost as though the lord himself clicked his fingers and turned them into guns overnight.

His breakout game was against the Crows last year.

Wouldn't sweat being wrong on a developing player DD.

What I'm REALLY looking forward to is the day that Oscar has a breakout game and all the detractors (myself included) are proved wrong on him. Primarily because filling this gap is key to our premiership aspirations.

Probably side swiping this thread somewhat. Apologies to mods and to Hunty (go you good thing).

That Crows game was when people started to take notice.  Before then some people were looking at his negatives rather than his positives, especially on DL. 

He put in a stunning performance a few weeks earlier vs Hawthorn.  Threw himself at everything, contested everything and ran like the wind.  I didn't see his earlier games as I was overseas.  But that Hawks game was a ripper and for mine he announced himself that day.

I just wonder, do KPP defenders tend to have "breakout games"?  None particularly spring to mind.  In my mind they just develop and gradually  one realizes that they have come of age.

Surely you do not expect impartiality and even handedness from any entity associated with the parent of the MRP, the AFL?   

We all know he was one of the best young players last year (and this) which is all that really matters.

Yep that game in the wet. Even then he didn't get much notice. Hoping ANB has a similar breakout game soon.

I am very rarely proven wrong as I seldom put myself forward as having a better understanding of a players abilities than the FD

I'd watched Hunt in a couple of junior games and in the VFL and spoken to the coaching staff so coukd understand why they persevered

In fact Roos mentioned it wouldn't surprise him if Hunt turned out the best player in that year's crop, or words to that effect.

The development of this kid is phenomenal.  Dare I say it if he continues on the same trajectory could he become Fyfe like?

I'm glad we waited for his body to get right before cutting him. Looks like a star in the making. 

Toss up between Hunt and Clarry as to who will be the best player on the list in 2 years time,

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
